TO 

THE MOST REVEREND 

WILLIAM 

LORD ARCHBISHOP OF YORK 5 



My Lord, 

W HEN I recoiled the two very refpedtable 
fituations which Your Grace formerly fo 
ably filled, firft as Head Mafter of Wejiminfter 
School, and afterwards as Dean of Chrijl- 
Church, in Oxford, I can think of no perfon fo 
proper as Your Lordship to whom I may 
dedicate a Publication, which aims to excite in 
young Students an attentive perufal of the 
Scriptures, while they are reading the Greek 
and Latin Authors ; many of whom were, no 
doubt, well acquainted with the Sacred Writ- 
ings. 

The fimilar paffages which are felefted from 
the Greek Authors are numerous, and fome 
very remarkable ; particularly fuch as refer to 
the creation of the World, the formation of 
Man, the Flood, the building of Babel, &c. 

a Not 



[ iv ] 

Not lefs remarkable perhaps are thofe from 
the Latin Authors ; as the fiction of ^Eneas's 
defcent into hell, when his father Anchises 
amongft other myfleries tells him, 

Frincipio coelum, ac terras, campofque liquentes, 
Lucentemque globuin lunae, Titaniaque aftra, 
Spiritus intus alit : totamque infufa per artus 
Mens agitat molem, et magno fe corpore mifcet. 
hide hominum, pecudumque genus, vitaeque volantum^ 
Et quae marmoreo fert monftra fub sequore pontus. 

JEneid. vi. 724. 

With the like alfo in the fourth book of the 
Georgics. The firft book of Ovid's Metamor- 
phofes is little elfe than a paraphrafe upon Ge- 
nesis. What opinion the wifeft of the Ro- 
mans had touching the Heathen Gods, cannot 
be better learnt than from Cato 5 who, being 
reduced to great extremities ill the defert of 
L ibya, was advifed by Labienus to confult 
the Oracle of Ham mo n, being then near unto 
it: to which Cato made a very remarkable 
reply, as recorded by Luc an, 

Eftne Dei fedes nifi terra, et pontus^ et aei> 

Et coelum, et virtus ? Superos quid quserimus ultra ? 

Jupiter eft quodeunque vides, quocunque moveris. 

Pharf. ix. 578. 

To account for the knowledge the Greeks had 
of the divine myfteries, we mould recollect- 
that the Egyptians and Chaldeans were ever 
efteemed by all profane as well as facrcd hif- 
torians to have been the moft antient of all na- 
tions : 



C v ] 

tlons : and we find in Scripture, that it was 
with thefe nations the Patriarchs had the great- 
eft intercourfe ; for Abraham lived fcme- 
time with the Ckald&ans, and in Egypt, where 
the Children of Ifrael alfo with their pofterity 
fojourned for fome time. It is no wonder then 
that thefe two nations mould have fo early a 
notion of facred myfteries, as well as of all 
other kinds of learning. From Egypt it was 
that the Greeks took their light. Orpheus, 
the raoft antient among them, vifited Egypt, 
and fearched into all their records. Next after 
him, was Pythagoras; who not only tra- 
velled into Egypt, but into Ckaldtea alfo ; and 
it was from Pythagoras chiefly that Pla- 
to took his notions, as the fucceeding Poets 
did from Orpheus: fo that the nearer they 
were to the original, the better always were 
their copies. 

I am well aware, My Lord, that I have 
overlooked many places in the Pentateuch, which 
might have been inferted with fimilar paffages 
from Greek or Latin Authors : but I am lefs 
anxious on this head, flattering myfelf that any 
fuch overfight may adl as a fpur to the young 
Student, not only to fopply the deficiencies, 
but to proceed through other books of the Sa- 
cred Writings, (which an ill ftate of health 
obliges me, not without relu&ance, to decline) 

a 2 and 



and hoping at the fame time, that while he is 
endeavouring to make himfelf mafter of the 
Greek and Latin Authors, he will pay an equal 
attention to the Infpired Writers : in fhort, 
that he will fearch the Scriptures; as they con- 
tain a greater fund of learning ftrictly fo called, 
and require greater abilities, and a greater 
fhare of knowledge to understand all the parts 
of them, than any one book that ever was pub- 
lished in the world. Every page and almoft 
every line of the Sacred Writings cannot fail 
of filling a reader of true tafte and judgment 
with inexpreffible pleafure and delight. The 
ftudy of the Scriptures is indeed like the 
ftudy of Nature ; the clofer and more curious 
we are in our inquiries into either, the greater 
caufe we mall find for wonder, praife, and ado- 
ration. 

It is obferved by Mr. Addison, that the 
antient Jews, without confidering them as In- 
fpired Writers, have tranfmitted to us many 
Hymns and Odes, which excel thofe that are 
delivered down to us by the Greeks and Romans, 
in the poetry, as much as in the fubjedt to 
which it is confecrated. 'Where mail we find 
the Deity defcribed with fach pomp and fo- 
lemnity as in the writings of the Infpired Pen- 
men ? Whenever they fpeak of the Majefty 
pf Heaven, they do it in fuch terms as fuffi- 

ciently 



[ vli ] 

ciently teftify they were at that time mor© 
than men. 

To illuftrate the manifeft fuperiority of the 
Sacred Writers over every other writer what- 
ever, it will be fufficient to quote only one in- 
ftance in each of thefe particulars, namely, the 
Sublime, the Narrative, and the Pathetic. 

Howfublime is the defcription David gives 
in the 18th Pfalm, which he compofed and 
fung, as we are informed by the Sacred Hifto- 
ry, 2 Samuel xxii. I. in remembrance that the 
Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all 
his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul ! 
" The earth trembled and quaked, the very 
" foundations alfo of the hills fhook, and were 
ce removed, becaufe he was wroth. There 
" went a fmoke out in his prefence, and a 
" confuming fire out of his mouth, fo that 
" coals were kindled at it. He bowed the 
*' heavens alfo, and came down, and it was dark 
" under his feet. He rode upon the Cheru- 
" bims, and did fly ; he came flying upon the 
*' wings of the wind. He made darknefs his 
ie fecret place -, his pavilion round about him 
<e with dark water, and thick clouds to cover 
<f him. At the brightnefs of his prefence his 
" clouds removed, hailftones, and coals of fire. 
* c The Lord alfo thundered out of heaven, 

and 



[ viii ] 

" and the Higheft gave his thunder ; hail- 

" ftones, and coals of fire. He fen 

<c rows, and fcattered them ; he caft fort 

" lightnings, and deftroyed them. Tl e 

" of waters were feeri, and the foundatiu 

" the round world were difcovered at thy c 

" ing, O Lord, at the blafting of the breath 

" of thy difpIeafllre.' , 

I have never met with any paffage in either 
Greek or Latin Author, that could be placed in 
competition with the above fublime defcription. 
The wrath of Neptune, and the eftedts of it, 
though finely expreiled in the following lines, 
will fcarcely admit of a comparifon.

Iliad, xx. 57. 
But the fublimity of language is not the only 
beauty of the Scriptures ; the narrative part 
will be found inexprefilbly elegant, though de- 
livered with all the air of iimplicity imaginable. 
The creation of the World was fuch a fubject, 
as any uninfpired writer would have dreffed- up 

in 



in all the pomp and grandeur that the art of 
elocution could devife : yet , in the Sacred 
Page, we find only one plain defcription of 
that great and important event,—-" God faid, 
" Let there be light, and there was light ; Let 
" there be earth, and it was fo." 

The Sacred Writings are full of this majeftle 
fimplicity and unaffected grandeur ; and in the 
hiftorical part no where is it more confpicuous-, 
than where Joseph, making himfelf known to 
his brethren, expreffes the tender concern of a 
dutiful child in the plaineft, yet moil pathetic 
language, — <<r I am Jofeph ; — Doth my father 
" yet live?" What a fcope is here left for 
the imagination ! Every word is important and 
interefting, and each deferves a paufe of con- 
templation. If we compare the following paf- 
fage with the above, the inferiority of the 
Greek Poet will be obvious at firft light, 

'AAA' o«T lyoo roiovfc. OdyfT. XVI. 204. 

It is in thefe delicate ftrokes of nature, that 
one, among many, of Shakes pear's great 
excellencies confifts. When Macduff is in- 
formed that his wife, children, and fervants 
were all flatightered, he exclaims 

" My wife kill'.d too ? 

" He has no children. — All my pretty ones ? 

« Did you iky, all? 

" What,, all ? » Macbeth, Act iv. Sc. 3. 

As 



C * 1 

As it would be fuperfluous to corroborate 
what has been advanced, refpe&ing the fupe- 
riority of the Infpired Writers, by any further 
quotations, of which the Prophets would afford 
various inftances, as may be feen in the Prce- 
leff. Poet, and other writings of the late Dr. 
Lowth, Bifhop of London, I {hall beg leave to 
flim up the whole with one general obferva- 
tion, namely, " That whatever is to be found 
'* remarkably beautiful in the writings of the 
t{ moft admired Greeks and Romans, is com- 
" pletely fo in the Sacred Writings ; for it is 
" from hence, as I before obferved, that they 
<e have derived their moft exalted ideas/' 

I fear I have trefpaffed too long on Your 
Grace's more important and ferious avoca- 
tions : but I could not omit the prefent oppor- 
tunity of acknowledging, with the utmoft re- 
fpedt, how greatly I feel myfelf indebted for 
that early part of my education, which I for- 
merly received from Your Lordship, and 
which can only be repaid, at this diftance of 
time, by a grateful remembrance thereof on 
the part of, 

My Lord, 

Your Grace's 
a. d. moft obedient and 

l30U moft humble Servant,

the Hebrews alfo were commanded to devote this day to pious 
contemplation ; and the learning and commemorating facred

Ver, 9, 

And out of the ground made the Lord God to 
grow every tree that is pleafant to the light, and 
good for food : the tree of life alfo in the midffc 
of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good 
and evil.

Ver. 10. 

And a river went out of Eden to water the gar- 
den. 

a Virgil feems here to give the traditional hiftory of the two 
trees. What he fays in the 6th Eclogue feems to belong to the 
tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The paffage in the <\tb 
JEiieid may be underftood of the fruit of the other. If thefe 
defections, and fuch like, be held before the true mirror of the 
Scripture original, the fabulous mixture and alterations will dif- 
appear, and the remaining facts and realities receive a corrobo- 
rating evidence of their real exiftence, by their having given life 
and beauty to things which had none in themfelves. Thus from 
the vondrous hittory of Jojbua and bis f pear, Mars and his fpear, 
Achilles and his fpear, were formed ; and., like the Roman Ancile, 
by being mingled together, the copies were not eafily, or foon to 
be duimguHhed from the original : but a near view, under a right 
direction, will be able to fix upon that which came down from 
heaven. It is obvious to obferve that Italy, the fine garden of 
Europe derived one of its ancient names from this defcriptive 
word HeZPeRI.

as the Parent of the Gods ;

<l earthquakes, which have happened in our times, but have been 
" obferved in all ages, and particularly thefe exorbitant commotions

" many of the antients concluded, rightly enough, that they were

a This paffage correfponds very much with the above verfes 
from Genefis ; viz. That Abraham, the perfect model of hofpita- 
lity, had the honour to entertain God himfelf under the form of 
three travellers, or rather of three angels. To this St. Paul al- 
ludes, when he fays, " Be not forgetful to entertain ftrangers, for 
<c thereby fome have entertained Angels unawares/ Heb xiii. 2. 
where Abraham and Lot are evidently meant. And it is remark- 
able, that God appeared at that time, under the form of travellers, 
to examine and fee of Himfelf, how great the infolence and wick- 
ednefs of the inhabitants of Sodom were. " I will go down now, 
" and fee, whether they have done altogether according to the cry 
" of it, which is come unto me." ver, 21.

a Thou {halt not bow down thyfelf to them. 

a The Hebrew word here by the Septuagint tranflated -nrpocxu- 
vyfzujg, is fufficiently general ; fignifying an act, not of the mind, 
but of the body 5 whether done by bowing down the head only, 
or by inclining the whole body, or by bending the knees, or by 
fitting on the hams, or by falling proftrate on the ground. And 
yet the Greek Interpreters had reafon on their fide, when they eon-< 
iidered it by vjpO'Txvvs'iv, adorare, to adore. For, as among the 
people of the Eaft, veneration was {hewn by various forms of 
bending the body 5 fo among the Greeks, and fome nations, vene- 
ration was generally fignified by putting the hand to the mouth ; 
which properly is g nrpoo'xvve7v a xvtv (in utero fero, et Juavior) 
whence ytvvsuo, which is, ofculor, I kifs. Nor doth the Latin word 
adorare own any other fignification ; being derived, not from ora^ 
re, to pray or intreat, but ab ore, quod manus admoveatur ori, from 
putting the hand to the mouth, or kiffing the hand, in token of 
lingular honour and veneration : Protendens manus, adorare val- 
gum, jacere ojcula et omnia ferviliter pro dominatione, fays Tacitus of 
Qtbo, Hift. i. 36. And what in an old Epigram is, 

lngrejfus fcenam popidum Saltator adorat, 
is the fame with that in Pbadrus, jaclat hafia tibicen. And Pliny 
xxviii. 1. In adorajido dextram ad qfculum referimus. How ancient 
tjiis manner of veneration is, may be learned from that exprefuon 
of Job, ch. xxxi. ver. 27. i( If my mouth hath kiffed my hand," 
that is, If I have offended by extraneous worfhip. But what hap- 
pened to many other words, that they remain not in the fenfe of 
the original 5 nay, that in procefs of time, and by long ufe, the 
adoptive fenfe comes at length to prevail over the genuine 5 the 

fame

fame hath been the fate of this Greek word vrgoarxwElv . It began- 
to be ufed fbr any gefture whatever testifying reverence. And 
therefore what the interpreter of St. Matthew, viii. 2 calls 
cTjOOcDcvvfTv, adorare, the fame in St. Luke, v. 12. is vrsosly 
sir) ro izc6<?vjTiov, to fall upon the face : and in St. Mark, v. 
22. Tttieleiv ujpoi r-ss is6$o,$i to fall at the feet. Sometimes, for 
perfpicuity of fenie, one is explicated by the other added, as in 
St. Matthew, ii. n. rfecovrss •mgovexvvri'TOLv, falling down they 
worfhipped. And i Cor. xiv. 25. &eG(M fir) itcocrujirov, Trgocrxvvr,- 
cti tuj @eu>, falling upon his face he iliall worfhip God. Hence 
it came, that an external thing being referred to an internal, 
that word is fometimes, though not often indeed, to fignify an act 
of the mind alio, as the words Sv&ta Tfpoa-fo'paC, oblation • and many 
other become by time ambiguous. But in this place doubtlefs is 
fignified every aft, whereby honour is v/ont to be demonstrated to 
fuperiors. For as the Hebrews are in Exodus, ch. xxiii. ver. 13. 
forbidden to ufe the names of falie Gods, though in common 
talk ; fo are they forbid to give any fign of honour to images. 

b The Hebrew word here interpreted by dtfo$iis> reddens, or ren- 
derings Signifies vifiting, as our Translation rightly expreifes it ; 
and is ufaally taken in the fenfe of vindicating ; and accordingly 
by the Greeks very often expounded by gnSlxety, to revenge.

Ver. io. 

The a Seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord 
thy God. 

b Various are the opinions concerning this Seventh-day. Some 
think that the Septenary period of days was firft instituted by A- 
dam, and began from the fix days of the Creation. Others affirm, 
that Setb found out the way of computing the flux of time by 
weeks, months, and years. But however difputable this quefrion 
may be, highly probable it is, that the true Seventh or Sabbatical 
day came tirft to be known to the Hebrews from the miraculous 
cefTation of Manna to rain upon that day: whence it was eafy for 
them to underftand, what day in the weekly circle of feven days 
ought to be reckoned the Seventh from the Creation, which was 
altogether unknown to them before. The number Seven has been 
held of lingular honour by the more illuftrious of Greeks and Bar- 
barians, who were verfed in mathematical ftudies. And certainly 
the Egyptians were the moll: ancient mailers of the mathematics j 
by whom both Pythagoras and Plato being taught, have very 
lubtly philofophized concerning the power and dignity of the 
Septenary number in general, which the Greeks called ztt>QuAooL. 
This number (faith A. Gellius from Varrd) makes in heaven the 
Septenir'wncs ; alfo the Pleiades, and the Seven Planets. Both £- 
quinoxes are confined to 2. .Seventh fign : whence in the facred rites 
of Ofiris, Plutarch tells us (in Jfide) the Egyptians ufed to lead a 
cow Seven times about the temple, becaufe the courfe of the Sun 
from Solitice to Solftice is finifhed in the Seventh month. In fa- 
cred things alfo, in pur iticat ions, invocations, and other religious 
rites, the Septenary number hath been efteemed of lingular virtue 
and folemn obfervation. Virgil teftifies that invocations alfo were 
to be Seven times repeated, 

Longa cum velte Sacerdos 

Obloquitur numeris feptem difcrimina vocum. 

JEneid. vi. 645. 
And from the Scboliajl upon Ar'ijlophanes we learn (in Plutarch) 
that by the Athenians fome certain days of every month, be- 
sides other feafts or holidays, were confecrated to fome Gods 
particularly; as the New Moon, and the Seventh to Apollo j the 
Fourth to Mercury ; the Eighth to Thejeus. The fame was long 
before taught by Hejiod. In the Mofaic rites alfo the Septenary 
number is folemniy refpecled. In the confecration of the Altar 
oil is Seven times fprinkled upon it ; in Seven days the confecra- 
tion of Priefts is confummated ; in the expiation of fin committed 
through ignorance, the blood of the bullock is fprinkled by the 
prieft Seven times before the Mercy-feat. In the purification of 

a le« 



Chap. XX. EXODUS. 119 



a leprous man, Seven afperfions, and Seven days are ordained; and 
accordingly Naaman warned himfelf Seven times in Jordan. Job 
offered his friends Seven bulls, and as many rams. Balaam built 
Seven altars, and prepared Seven bullocks and Seven rams. Seven 
Priefts founding trumpets went Seven times round about Jericho z 
and on the Seventh day the walls thereof fell down. Darnel num- 
bers the times by Eehdomadas. In the Apocalypfe, the book is 
fealed with Seven feals ; the Lamb hath Seven horns, and Seven 
eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God , and to the Seven An- 
gels are given Seven trumpets and Seven phials. In a word, iri 
myfteries the number Seven hath ever been preferred to all other, 
as moft perfect. But the moft celebrated, and to our prefent in- 
quiry the moft pertinent, is the Septenary Cycle, or round of days, 
or the Seventh day in the weekly periods of days perpetually re- 
current ; fuch as is the Sabbath of the Jews. The Egyptians, the 
moft ancient computers of times, are reported by authors of good 
credit, to have derived the weekly circle of days from the number 
of the Planets, and to have propagated that account of time, toge- 
ther with their aftrological discipline, refpecting which may be 
feen more at large in Herodotus, lib. ii. 82. and in Dio Cajfius, lib. 
xxxvii. p. 123. and in Plato, where he introduces Socrates fpeak- 
ing of the Egyptian Thcuth, i. e. Mercury, in thefe words ; — Tsrov

drpovopioLv, sri <5s rfsrlziocs rs kcl) ytvtelxc, &c. We may there- 
fore acquiefce in this perfuafion, that the weekly cycle of days 
was taken from mathematick difcipline, and from the moft fecret 
treafury of Egyptian antiquity ; but that the facred obfervation of 
every Seventh day, and the feaft of the Hebdomadical Sabbath, con- 
ftituted by this Mofaic Law, in memory of the Egyptian fervi- 
tude, was now nrft received into the religion of the Hebrezvs , as 
alfo that this their Sabbath was, by the miracle of Manna ceallng 
to rain down upon that day, fixed upon the true Seventh day of 
the Creation, which God had from the beginning fanclified. Nor 
is it to be doubted but that this precept of keeping holy the Sab- 
bath-day was peculiar to the Ifraclites : for God himfelf was pleafed 
to fay, " It is a fign between me and you, throughout your gene- 
" rations; that ye may know that I am the ^.ord, that doth fane- 
*' tify you. "Ye mall keep the Sabbath therefore: for it is holy 
" unto you." Exodus xxxi. 13, 14.

S Dionyfius HaJicarnaJfenJis and Plutarch affirm^ that Numa caufed 
all the images to be removed out of the Roman Temples ; becaufe 
it was improper, he thought, to liken the belt things to the 
worft ; and imporlible to approach the Deity, but in thought. 
Varro likewife informs us, that the Romans, for more than an hun- 
dred and twepty years from the building of their city, worfhipped 
the Gods jine. Jimulacbro ; adding, that if that wife cuftom had 
been continued to his days, the Gods would have been ferved 
more religiouily ; and alleging the example of the Jenvi/h nation 
to atteft that his fentence : and at length concluding, that they 
who firft fet up images of Gods for the people, took away fear 
from their cities, and put error in the place of it.

fered for concluding the foregoing Extracts with a Poem of 
modern date : but it is prefumed, the Reader of true tafte will
